Canadian lightweight prospect Anthony Romero proved he was ready for the UFC when he picked up a unanimous decision victory over a gritty Mike Breeden at DWCS Season 4: Week 4 on Tuesday night.
Everything went almost perfectly for Romero, 23, until it was time for Dana White to award the UFC contracts for the night.
“The Genius,” despite a complete performance that left the MMA community impressed, was the only one of the five victors that didn’t punch his ticket to the UFC. White was critical of Romero’s showing, most notably when he had Breeden badly hurt due to a flurry of low kicks that left his opponent on one leg.
